"How You Chase A Dream"
Alarm clock ringin’, same fight again
Steel toe mornings and traffic at ten
Gas light blinkin’, bills stack high
Dreams in the backseat ridin’ all night
Everybody hustlin’ just to survive
Work all day just to stay alive
And somehow we’re supposed to find
A little piece of ourselves at night
And mine keeps callin’ me
Every break, every red light
Every sleepless late night
I’m writin’ words inside my head
Tryna breathe life into somethin’ bigger and bright
How you chase a dream
Inside twenty-four hours
Workin’ just to eat
Still reachin’ for the stars
Mind racin’ on repeat
Heart runnin’ on fumes
Still singin’ my soul
Inside this small room
And maybe I won’t make it
Maybe I’ll fall apart
But this time nobody can say
I didn’t give my heart
I tried once before and let go too soon
Thought failure meant the dream was through
But lookin’ back now, truth cuts deep
I was tired… but I didn’t bleed
Now every lyric is my decree
Every melody heals somethin’ unseen
I ain’t singin’ somebody else’s songs
Now I’m finally singin' pieces of me
Every post, every rewrite
Every moment through the night
Tryna build somethin’ they can feel
Hopin’ someday all this pain turns real
How you chase a dream
Inside twenty-four hours
Barely keepin’ up
Still waterin’ these flowers
Mind racin’ nonstop
Hands shakin’ from the load
Still carryin’ this fire
Down a lonely road
And maybe I won’t make it
Maybe heaven says no
But this time I can finally say
I gave it my soul
Only people who’ve lived this life
Know how heavy dreams can get
When your body says stop
But your spirit ain’t done yet
And if I never see my name in lights
At least when I close my eyes
I’ll know I fought for the life
I heard singin’ inside
How you chase a dream
Inside twenty-four hours
Still holdin’ onto faith
Inside the darkest hours
And even if I lose
I already won
Cause this time
I didn’t run
No, this time
I gave it everything
